ChocoMeteor is used by Boko when he is summoned into battle using Gysahl Greens, and is his second-most powerful attack. In the original version Boko learns ChocoMeteor by training in the Chocobo World, meaning most international players never got to see the attack in the PlayStation version. In Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, Chocobo World is not available, and Boko can use his special skills natively, and which attack he uses depends on Squall's level.[1] Boko uses ChocoMeteor between LV50–74.

Etymology

"Choco" is short for "chocobo". [view·edit·purge]The name "chocobo" derives from a Japanese brand of chocolate malt ball by Morinaga, ChocoBall(チョコボール, Chokobōru?). The mascot for this product is Kyoro-chan (キョロちゃん?), a bird who says "kweh."

[view·edit·purge]A meteor or "shooting star" is the visible streak of light from a meteoroid or micrometeoroid, heated and glowing from entering the Earth's atmosphere, as it sheds glowing material in its wake. Meteors rarely explode in the Earth's atmosphere. The term has become associated with quickness with the adjective "meteoric." In the context of myth and superstition, meteors and comets sighted in Ancient and Medieval Europe were once held as ill omen, said to be the message of the heavens' displeasure of man's affairs to herald grave catastrophes.

Pieces that withstand atmospheric ablation are known as meteorites, but the name of the spell in the series refers to the overall phenomenon.

This means that the use of the word "meteor" in spell names in Final Fantasy is incorrect, as parts that withstand the atmospheric entry are called meteorites.

Trivia

The Choco Meteor's meteorite in Final Fantasy Tactics is in the shape of a chocobo's head.
